In 2001, Kyanka was entered into the
Entertainment Weekly (EW) Entertainer of the Year online poll, and went on to receive "thousands of votes", but was disqualified because
EW judged they were the result of an email campaign. In 2006, Kyanka accepted
Uwe Boll's challenge to a boxing match, which Boll had issued to all his online critics. The match took place on September 23 in
Vancouver; Boll knocked Kyanka out in less than two minutes. On October 9, 2020, following a backlash from the community in response to allegations that Kyanka was a domestic abuser, Kyanka sold Something Awful to a fifteen-year member and moderator known as Jeffrey of YOSPOS. Kyanka was subsequently banned from the site. ==Death==
